Electric cooker capable of correcting heating time and heating control method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electric cookers, and particularly relates to an electric cooker and a heating control method thereof.
Background
Early rice cookers typically cooked rice in only two stages, "cook" and "keep warm," each using a fixed power, wherein the duration of the "cook" stage is set and the duration of the "keep warm" stage is actually selected according to the needs of the user. In order to improve the taste of the rice, the improved electric rice cooker divides the rice cooking stage into five sub-stages in detail: the heating power of the five sub-stages is different, wherein the heating stage is an important stage, the heating time determines the time for the water in the pot to reach the boiling point and also determines the temperature of the following stages, if the heating time is not enough, the required temperature cannot be reached, the rice is half-cooked, and if the heating time is too long, the situation of 'drying the pot' with too high temperature is caused.
The existing electric rice cooker mostly adopts a temperature control method, namely, water in a cooker is automatically switched to the next stage after being heated to 100 ℃ by fixed power, but the heating time of the temperature control is insufficient, firstly, the detected temperature is the temperature of a metal layer of an inner cooker, secondly, the detected temperature is the temperature of steam in the cooker, and the first detection mode is that the measured temperature of the inner cooker is higher than the temperature of water in the inner cooker because the heat conductivity of metal is higher than that of water; in the second detection mode, due to the reason that the steam is liquefied and releases heat on the surface of the temperature sensor, the temperature of the steam detected by the sensor is usually higher than the temperature of water in an actual pot, so that the rice cooker can prematurely switch the cooking stage, and the cooking time is insufficient and the temperature is low; secondly, the heating method does not consider the factors of the amount of the rice, for example, the time for the steam at the upper layer to reach 100 ℃ can be almost the same when 500g of the rice and 200g of the rice are put in the heating process, so the time for the rice cooker to actually heat can be the same, but the temperature of each part of the 500g of the rice and the 200g of the rice are different in the same heating time, because the heating of the rice needs a process of transferring heat from the periphery of the rice pile to the center of the rice pile, if the amount of the rice is put, the time heating time is not enough, the temperature inside and outside the whole rice is inconsistent, and the condition that the rice is pasted with a pot around the rice and the rice is half-cooked in the middle.
